Chapter 25 Feeling Too Hot

The corners of Nathaniel’s lips lifted as he propped his chin with one hand, exuding a wicked charm. “You’re right. My wife looks good in anything”

Christma was slightly embarrassed by his praise. She suddenly felt that he was much more agreeable. when he wasn’t being intimidating.

Sounds of the door opening in the courtyard reached her ears, indicating that her grandmother was probably back home.
